DeSnake says, according to part of the PGP message he signed, that the reason for returning is not only the poor state of the DNM scene. But other reasons include the lack of quality and professional marketplaces. He says that his main aim is leaving a legacy behind which is worthy of the ‘AlphaBay’ name and one which alpha02 would be proud of.
This new version will allow markets and vendor shops from all around the world to join and form the future. The network will make it impossible to LE takedowns and it will be the long awaited progress in the darknet market scene. I’m very curious to see over the coming days and weeks how users react to the news.
How To Access Dark Web Using Tor
The authorities used the time to gather information on high value targets and identified delivery addresses for sizable orders, passing along 10,000 international addresses of buyers to Europol. AlphaBay is a legendary dark web marketplace which was by the FBI’s own words the biggest darknet marketplace to have ever existed. The platform was shutdown in 2017 by authorities during Operation Bayonet but they were unable to capture many of the staff members including its co-founder and security administrator DeSnake. Despite demand for legitimacy, the world of darknet markets is rife with shady characters, scams, and instability. The marketplaces are also a hotbed for cyberattacks, and the threat of law enforcement means they could be shut down at any time.
As a result, the trading of illegal goods online has become more commonplace, and vast dark web marketplaces have been created. Of course, you have every right to be suspicious about this newly emerged AlphaBay’s successor. Moreover, you can find other markets with advanced security capabilities and unique approach to the darknet trading, including Monopoly, Versus, and ToRReZ. Still, DeSnake offers many features and initiatives that seem intriguing to say the least.
AlphaBay Marketplace Returns
You can also find secure email services, independent journalism platforms, and even the dark web Wiki. There’s little doubt that law enforcement agencies worldwide have got hold of cybercriminal marketplaces, and their business has almost gone defunct. But, seems like that won’t be the case for long because the most notorious Dark Web marketplace ever, AlphaBay, seems to have been relaunched by the same administrator after the FBI shut it down four years back. Fraudsters operating on the AlphaBay darknet market are using phishing attacks to steal login credentials from other criminals. In this particular attack, the phishing site mimics the address of one of AlphaBay’s Tor hidden services.
But most of their dreams have come true since there is a new AlphaBay which they can use now. We have a heavy focus on I2P because we believe it is the future and every DNM user should learn how to use it. To elaborate further, Tor has been neglecting much needed upgrades to how hidden services work for a very long time and it is not only me saying that. We know who discovered/weaponized , who uses it and how deanonimization techniques are used what we do not know is why the Tor project has done little to nothing about it and continues to brush it off. It is clear by example no amount of funding given to the Tor project foundation will change that and the time to stop ‘hoping’ for them to make changes is over. In our public PGP signed message we have explained that Tor refuses to make changes to how it operates to eliminate attacks used not only to do DoS against hidden services but also used by LE to deanonymize those services and locate them .

The same day, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police executed search warrants at addresses in Quebec tied to the suspect, including at a mini-warehouse in Montreal and residence in Trois-Rivières, searching for computer equipment, the Montreal Gazette reported. Police said the raids did not result in any arrests; they were intended to gather evidence, as part of a joint investigation with the FBI. In connection with the AlphaBay investigation, on July 5, police in Thailand arrested Canadian citizen Alexandre Cazes, 26, operating on an arrest warrant issued June 30 at the request of U.S. authorities, the Bangkok Post reported.
- Much of the allure of the Silk Road and other dark web markets is anonymity.
- In the spring of 2017, the Alpha Organization paid an extortionist threatening to dox alpha02 and a couple of his moderators at least $45,000 USD, although the veracity of the information the extortionist had has not been verified.
- On November 26, 2021, Panasonic joined a long list of companies that suffered a data breach over the past year.
- See the posts we found in the dark web that could indicate that an attack was in the making.
Multisig monero will be integrated once it is more stable and mainstream, our tests have shown it is not ‘there’ just yet. Monero is a currency which we added previously on our marketplace alongside few others. Currently it is the only available cryptocurrency to use on our marketplace due to its higher security and anonimity. Anyone serious about their privacy should migrate from Bitcoin and the likes, and only use audited privacy coins to do transactions on the darknet.
Dark Market Links
If all goes well, you directly go to the login screen, where you may enter your new username and password. Our attention can’t help but be drawn to how quiet AlphaBay has been in the period since its “re-opening.” There have been a lot of problems with connectivity and downtime in the market. These could probably happen because of competitors or other things. Give birth and fund through parts of our profits a new generation of decentralized marketplaces.
